Hello, I have a question and I will be happy if anyone can help.

When I try to Start Session I got the following error
An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Cannot start the ‘com.xxx.at.xxx’ application. Visit https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/android/activity-startup.md for troubleshooting. Original error: ‘com.xxx.xxx.SplashActivity_’ or ‘com.xxx.at.xxx.com.xxx.kaufland.SplashActivity_’ never started. Visit https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/android/activity-startup.md for troubleshooting

Appium Version 1.15.1 (1.15.1.20191013.2)
Android v 3.6.3
java 14

I tried different paths. I took the main and first activity from the dev. , but the Activity is not starting. I am able to open the app directly with emulator, but when I try with Appium its not working

that’s the example from https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/android/activity-startup.md , I tried many different paths but same story. Do you know how can find the right path ?

@enedelina write your code. how you create capabilities.

I fixed it as I added “appWaitActivity”: “*” to capabilities. Thanks a lot for your help!
